HOSTILE is a tabletop RPG set in a universe that combines elements of gritty science fiction, horror and intrigue. It is heavily inspired by the aesthetics and themes of classic 1970s and 1980s sci-fi movies such as “Alien,” “Blade Runner,” and “Outland.” The setting is designed to evoke a sense of being on the edge of known space, where human life is cheap, corporate interests dominate, and the unknown looms at every corner.

Characters are blue-collar people, working dangerous jobs in the hostility of space. Every hazard is trying to kill them: lack of oxygen, vacuum, radiation, excessive cold, excessive heat, aliens, alien infections, poisonous atmosphere, high-pressure atmosphere, high decompression rate, high gravity acceleration in large bodies, amongst others.
